New Millennium Twist on Chewing Gum and Walking

The old adage : "can’t chew gum and walk” gets a new millennium twist - “can’t cell phone talk and walk." What ELSE can people find to attack regarding personal liberty and responsibility? ANYway, it seems researchers at New York's Stony Brook University School of Health Technology and Management think what they have found “may have significant real-world repercussions.” That is -- morecognitive effort is involved while using a cellphone than many of us might expect! Interestingly, another study (not by Stony Brook U) indicates men might have higher risk for Mild Cognitive Impairment – such as dementia. Ya, well, but for this there IS treatment – social interaction with friends, family and church members; stimulating your brain by reading and using a computer, which, oddly enough, can be found in the highly portable, high powered form of a ... cell phone.
